Book description
Christopher Hughes was a remarkable teacher. He knew every one of the
boys in his classes as if he could see into their minds. He was
extraordinarily dynamic and more than a little frightening - to pupils
and colleagues alike.
Sacrifices begins with his funeral, as his daughter Anna
looks back at his life. In the subsequent chapters we see Christopher
again through the eyes of those whose lives he touched until at last
the kaleidoscope is shaken into focus and we discover the truth about
Christopher Hughes, his life and his death.
Michael Fishwick grew up in London and graduated from Oxford. He
